Made a quick stop at the Observatory today to scout possible homes for my 24oz wide-mouth Ball jars. Certainly a nice day at the top, the firefighter practicing bagpipes in the parking lot next door added a certain atmosphere that accented the view and weather perfectly. Wish I had more than my cell phone to snap photos.
So the interior is pretty well sealed up. No doubt a drafty place but I wish I could open the windows to get a breeze. I’m going to leave two jars on the top indoor floor and three exposed outside on the deck in different spots. The weather is going to be in the lower-50s and clear at night, and there is always a breeze when you’re that far up.
Tomorrow I’ll make a half-gallon of 1.030 wort with a pinch of hops and yeast nutrient and in the afternoon, I’ll drop them at the Observatory. Saturday afternoon, I’ll pick them
up and let them sit loosely covered for a few days and see what happens. Crossing my fingers for true Munjoy Hill native beer.
